Loch Lomond Villa Partnership
Thinking About a Career in Healthcare?
Interested in a career with endless employment opportunities and free tuition for training? Due to the increasing number of aging Canadians, Personal Support Workers (PSWs) are in high demand in Atlantic Canada. The need for PSWs is only expected to rise and create more career opportunities in the future. With this opportunity to touch people’s lives in a supportive and positive way and with a strong employment outlook, working as a PSW has never been more advantageous!
Right now, the New Brunswick government is providing funding to select healthcare facilities to train individuals who see themselves working in this meaningful and important role in Healthcare. Training is delivered by Eastern College in partnership with the chosen long-term care facilities.
Loch Lomond Villa has been selected to partner with Eastern College to provide free PSW training. Call Susan Hunt at 506-285-4989 to reserve your seat!
